Fleeting Dreams
Italian techno innovator SLV returns with second EP on Mutual Rytm, serving up a blend of raw analogue power and cinematic depth. Sicilys SLV is able to merge technical mastery with emotional resonance. His potent techno sounds have come via the likes of SHWDs Mutual Rytm and Slams Soma, and unite timeless yet forward-thinking sonics. On Fleeting Dreams, he continues to refine his signature sound while channelling introspection and intensity into a collection of meticulously crafted cuts that balance precision and feeling, energy and space. Each track reveals a different side of his sonic identity: hypnotic rhythms intertwine with evolving soundscapes, while layers of distortion and melody merge into a dreamlike tension between the mechanical and the organic. Fading Moments kicks off with a sleek blend of driving, supple kicks and warm synth ripples, while a euphoric vocal cry is buried deep to amp up the emotion. Scenario then brings icy hi-hats and sinewy synths bring a futuristic feel to the unrelenting, high-pressure drums down low. Daruma has a darker energy with menacing textures and paranoid FX bringing the rolling drums to life, while Bass Grit has a hunched up rhythm, with groaning pads and fizzing static electricity that charge up the party. To close, Shimmer sinks down into a muscular and deep rhythm thats marbled with restless synths and ever-rising tension. In addition, digital bonus cuts Trust and 1990 offer different perspectives with slamming drums, seductive vocals and feisty synth loops making for two more bold, immersive techno weapons.

There are plenty of surprises along the way while always remaining true to the Mutual Rytm ethos and reflecting the journey of the night from start to finish, whether thats in intimate, sweaty clubs or on big festival stages.

Elsewhere, dub textures and moments of introspection provide balance, creating a narrative arc that moves fluidly between intensity and release, atmosphere and tension, darkness and light.

To Whom It May Concern
French talent Hyden makes label debut on Mutual Rytm with conceptual new techno EP, To Whom It May Concern. Hyden is a potent force in the French underground, creating powerful techno with dense percussion, immersive grooves and subtle nods to classic influences — all through his own unique lens. Having delivered standout releases in recent years, here he offers up sounds anchored in psychoanalysis, time, and emotional residue as he makes his mark on SHDWs Mutual Rytm imprint, delivering influences of dream logic and surrealism as the palette moves between brutality and introspection. Its hypnotic music for moments of rupture where something breaks or breaks through. Opener Manifest Content is inspired by Freudian theory and explores the surface illusions of thought and dream. Its about the dissonance between what we perceive and the deeper meaning that slips away beneath and is a deep and dubby techno track with flashes of unsettling melody. Bruises is emotional trauma made sonic. This piece delves into invisible scars and traumas, residues of past conflict or intimacy - its slow-burning, heavy and raw. Jikan is a meditation built on time and its erosion. Inspired by the Japanese concept of impermanence, it reflects fleeting moments, decay and the tension between stillness and motion with jacked up but warm drums and turbulent bass. Next, Free Will is born from inner conflict and plays with deterministic rhythms and evolving layers, questioning whether we are truly in control or just passengers in a prewritten sequence. The vocal mentions, creatures, youre out of time to bring darkness to the intense but sleek rhythms. The streamlined physicality of Swarm channels the primal force of collective movement and is a nod to the loss of individuality in group behaviour. In addition, the package is loaded with digital bonus cuts. Yumehara is a dive into surreal dream-states and evokes subconscious landscapes where logic dissolves and emotion reigns, while Lü Bu is brutal and warlike and named after the legendary Chinese general that captures impulsive violence, betrayal and reckless glory with relentless energy and rhythm. Lastly, Neon Pale is a synthetic dreamscape about fading beauty under artificial light - a melancholy ode to cities at night and the loss of warmth in modern life.

Symbiosis II
ANNĒ & SERA J return for the second edition of their Symbiosis series on Mutual Rytm. ANNĒ, known for potent techno on the likes of Soma and Hardgroove, and Nechto and Life In Patterns associate Sera J, have had standout years that have seen them put out a stream of essential club tracks. They are partners in both life and music, and the first volume of Symbiosis on SHDWs Mutual Rytm imprint was their first release together. Delivering an honest representation of their innermost feelings, having also contributed to the labels Federation Of Rytm III VA in February, this new six-track EP (plus bonus cuts) presents a mature and refined connection between their souls. The second instalment of Symbiosis reflects not only their deep personal connection, but also their collaborative synergy as musical peers with the same goals. The EP captures the essence of their mutual artistic journey and showcases the strength of their bond both in life and through their shared creative vision - to create a storyline through sounds coming from their souls and convey a narrative that many listeners may find relatable. SERA J kicks off with the lithe and melodically elegant techno of Your Soul Is Art which will have both heart and heels dancing. Illusions is a more heavy and dubby cut with paired back grooves and pulsing synths, while Glacial Pace is an urgent deep techno roller with turbocharged stabs and huge icy hi hats locking you into a trance. ANNĒ steps up on the B-side with Floating Waves exploring physical, chunky drum funk and raw synth textures. Planetary Dust is a dark and moody astral techno journey to the stars, before Sweet Seventeen brings a more melodic cut with a sense of hope and joy in the bright pads that shimmer above the glitchy grooves. Both artists also offer two digital bonus cuts with SERA Js Syncosonix and Space Velocity delivering perfectly reduced minimal techno monsters, while ANNĒs Gentle Loop and Starburst are interplanetary trips with widescreen cosmic synths.

Intrinsic Drive
Mutual Rytm welcome back Swiss DJ/producer Chlär for a bustling, high-octane return as he unveils hislatest six-track EP, 'Intrinsic Drive'. Swiss artist and mastering engineer Chlär's last outing on Mutual Rytm, his 'Optimized Grooves' EP, was a stand-out success that made an impact far and wide across the techno realm. It was another big step for the fast-rising producer, who is also a dexterous DJ that plays across three and even four decks in the club. A craftsman of sounds, his take on techno is full throttle and has come on labels like Iceland's NIX and Stranger's Self Reflektion imprint. Always looking to improve his sounds, he hits a perfect sweet spot with a fresh and visionary approach across six fresh productions with his 'Intrinsic Drive' EP, again showcasing exemplary creative progression in his ever-impressing production skills. Up first is 'Dopamine Rush', a quickened techno pumper with synths peeling off the straight-ahead drums and locking you into a state of hypnosis. The title track 'Intrinsic Drive' is a tightly woven mix of drums, hits and bass that never lets up, while the supple rhythm is overlaid with alien sound designs to up the intensity. 'For Marco' takes a heavier path with darkened and more weighty kick drums under eerie synth loops. There is a real swing in the drums of 'Steady Pace' as the crisp hits and vocal fragments all up the ante, before 'Greedy Man' delivers a tough panel beater with skewed synths and an industrial undertone. Digital bonus 'May I Dance?' rounds things out with raw textures and unhinged loops that take you to the heart of a strobe-lit dance floor, shaping up another mighty fine statement of intent from the ever more vital Swiss native.
